How is the expanding global population affecting our health and well-being today, and what might the future hold? Join GEM members in examining a topic that is often relegated to the shadows of personal, political, and international conversations.
The documentary film 8 Billion Angels was released in 2020 as a 79-minute feature film. PBS has broadcast it in a 54-minute classroom edition. The website has links for viewing either of the two versions on demand. After watching the film at your convenience, join GEM in a discussion on Zoom on Monday, July 13, 7-8 pm. We’ll talk about the documentary and discuss population trends and related issues.
